Few things get over-caffeinated gym rats excited like the mention of a new DMAA or DMHA supplement. The mere inclusion of one of these ingredients on a pre workout label can instantly gain attention for a new product.
In this post we’ll be breaking down a few key questions:
[Read more…]Pre workout is an interesting supplement category because there are so many different ways that manufacturers approach formulation. There’s a nearly endless list of various ingredients that can be found in pre workout supplements, including creatine.
[Read more…]While pre-workouts with beta-alanine are somewhat of a staple for many gym-goers and athletes, providing a multitude of benefits, they also come with some problems. One of these is the uncomfortable itching and tingling sensation.
If you’re on the hunt for a beta-alanine-free pre-workout that doesn’t make you itch, you’ve probably experienced these symptoms and have decided it’s not for you.
The good news?
There are plenty of beta-alanine-free pre-workouts that can get you pumped for the gym without the unpleasant “pins and needles” symptoms.
[Read more…]Ah yes, creatine. Along with pre workout and protein, creatine supplements are part of the holy trinity most people buy when they start taking diet and exercise more seriously.
Creatine is a molecule that helps your body produce more ATP. ATP plays a crucial role in carrying energy to your muscles. Higher levels of ATP mean your muscles can burn more fuel.
Everyone knows that.
What some people don’t know is that there are different forms of creatine you can use for muscle building.
Let’s take a closer look at creatine HCL or creatine hydrochloride. It’s more soluble than other forms of creatine and easier to absorb. As a result, it can be easier on your digestive tract.
[Read more…]You’ve finished the main work of your training session, just completed your first accessory set, and then it happens.
The mid workout fatigue sets in.
Suddenly the three accessory movements you planned on training seem like a tall order. Maybe you should have double scooped your pre workout after all.
Or, instead of blowing out your adrenal glans, you could have been sipping on some carbs to help you finish your workout with just as much effort as you started it with.
This is where the intra workout supplement shines.
[Read more…]Alright, so in case you haven’t heard, word on the street is that Dark Energy pre workout will no longer be made. After the current batch is gone, that’s it.
[Read more…]Wrecked Extreme pre workout is a limited edition release from Huge Supplements. It’s also a collaborative release with Review Bros, an excellent supplement review YouTube channel.
You might remember Huge Supplements from such products as Wrecked Pre Workout or Hibernate Sleep Aid, both products that I’m a big fan of.
[Read more…]Thermal Spark is a hardcore fat burner from Imperial Nutrition.
Widely known for its stimmed-out pre workout Excelsior, Imperial Nutrition also released a sister product: Thermal Spark.
[Read more…]Ripper Fat Burner is a hardcore fat burning supplement from Dark Labs. Notable ingredients include 100 mg of DMAA, three types of Yohimbine, 50 mg of synephrine, and 50 mg of GBB HCL.
[Read more…]When most people think of protein powder, they tend to think of a chocolate flavored powder that pairs well with milk. More or less a chocolate milkshake.
And honestly – sometimes that’s just not what I’m looking for.
Thankfully, more manufacturers are starting to make clear protein powder.
[Read more…]Hooligan Bare Knuckle pre workout is a stim free pump and focus pre workout supplement from Apollon Nutrition.
[Read more…]Flame Pre Workout is a pre workout supplement from Dark Labs, makers of Crack and Herolean. Flame is known for its hefty doses of DMHA and Eria Jarensis.
Flame has been getting a lot of hype, so I was excited to receive some samples of it and try it out.
Was the hype warranted? Yep.
[Read more…]Many women have found that pre workout supplements are an excellent way to prepare for a workout. The reason pre workout supplements are a great addition to your routine is the fact that they anticipate your needs both during and after high-intensity exercise. Mentally, you can feel them helping with focus and energy; physically, they may help build muscle, burn fat, and aid your recovery.

[Read more…]MicroPure Whey Protein Isolate is Kaged Muscle’s flagship protein product. As a fan of whey protein isolate, preferring it over whey concentrate, I was excited when Kaged Muscle sent this one over for me to try.
[Read more…]Fat burners almost sound too good to be true.
So here’s the straight talk: if you want a magic pill that will help you lose weight while you eat pizza & ice cream on the couch, fat burners won’t be effective for you.
If you’re not training, dieting, and recovering to support weight loss, then even the best fat burners won’t do anything to help you.
If you’re already doing everything right, a high quality, research-backed fat burner can help give you an extra edge.
